It seems to be the word I say the most lately. No to Ruby. No to the girls. No to bills. No. No. No. I am rather sick of the word but it sure as heck gets my point across.
No! Don't chew those shoes!
No! We can't order Thai food!
No! I cannot afford that prescription!
I have had a lot of shit go down lately. It has humbled me to the fact that it could be worse.
I don't have computer right now, but if I put one on layaway, I will have one. Many people are on unemployment and losing their homes. Puts shit into perspective for me. I am not looking forward to Christmas because buying gifts will be hard. Some will be homeless for Christmas.
This is not turning into a downer post. I am trying to show myself that despite the shittiness, we have it pretty ok. Now I need to really read my frugal books to start working on that. There may be some things I am not ready to give up yet. I did cancel my weekly egg delivery. I was paying $8 a week on 2 dozen fresh vegetarian fed chicken eggs. They are wonderful. I just can't see spending that when eggs can be bought for $1 a dozen.
Would I be willing to say no to other things? Cable? Netflix? Cellphone? I don't know if I can say no to those things....yet. can you?
I will just sit here contently with my Android and my ginger Milo in my arms and enjoy the warmish October weather.
We just said no to netflix movie deliveries. We are redboxing it now.
ReplyDeleteI think I am ready to get rid of the mailed DVDs too. I will have one more sent and then I will call and cancel it.
ReplyDeleteI'm still seriously thinking of cancelling the Directv. It went up to $47 a month. Fuck that shit.
ReplyDeleteThose eggs must have been a real treat. I think cable is one of the biggest rip offs.
